Caprice Layout

Supplies:

Cherish, scrapbook layout guide
Caprice Paper Packet
Card Commentary stamp set
Edge Anchors
Crystal Blue Re-inker
Chocolate ink pad
White Acrylic Paint
Natural Hemp

Directions:

1. Cut all papers as shown in "Cherish", scrapbooking layout guide (I just love this book!)

2. Layer papers and photos as shown.

3. Now to embellish! I used our brand new edge anchors and painted them! Simply add a drop or two of Crystal blue reinker to some white paint and mix. (Hint: our new distressing kit includes paint,brushes, and a handy paint tray and stirring sticks for mixing). Paint 1-2 thin coats of paint on the top of the edge anchors and the brads. Let dry and place at then end of journaling pieces and photo mats. (Hint: Edge anchors are a great new fasteners that slide onto the edge of a card, layout, or layer on your project. To get extra miles out of your edge anchors, you can gently pry them apart and snap them into 2 pieces. That way you get 2 edge anchors out of one! This is useful if you are using them on a layer so that the back of the edge anchor would not otherwise be visible.)

4. Stamp desired sayings on Chocolate photo mat and journaling bar. Tie hemp around photos and journaling areas. On the left, I cut out a flower from the left over flowered paper and matted it on a round circle tag with foam tape. It's a great way to use extra scraps of paper!
